This is a fic on my newest and most favorite character, Rose. As we left off, she escaped to Hyrule and met Malon, Lance (Farm help!) those carpenter guys, and the windmill person. She left with little time to return to the valley, will she make it? Will she fall asleep? I apologize for my mistakes on the typing, I'm never good with keyboards. Spelling is bad too, not good at that either. But I try and it's readable so it's all good. Now, to my fic...
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any Zelda products. I don't own the characters except maybe Rose and Lance, and possibly any others I come up with... Just think I'm poor and don't own anything, and we'll all be happy....
~~~~Open to a new Light~~~~
* We close in on Rose dashing across Hyrule Field, out of breath because she's been running all night. She closes in on the musky orange of the desert. She enters Gerudo Valley and walk up to the gate, where Nabooru is waiting with enraged eyes...*
Rose: Umm, Nabooru!
Nabooru: Rose, where were you? You know you'll be punished for this!
Rose: I am sorry my queen, I just thought that-
Nabooru: You thought that the world was more interesting than your home?
Rose: Well, yeah....
Nabooru: *Glares* You are never to return to Hyrule unless under MY order, you clear?
Rose: Yes your Highness...
Nabooru: Return to your room, you'll be punished later for disobeying my rule.
Rose: Yes, my queen.
*Rose walks back with her head hung down. She realizes her mistake in leaving. Shame is everywhere around her now...*
I messed up so bad last night. But I don't regret it at all. I met some great people and even made a few friends. Thats what I wanted. The punishment? Last time I left I got ten whips on my back. It'll probably be worse than that, you never know with Nabooru. At least I get some sleep, I'm so tired. My body and soul are worn out from all the emotional and pyhsical trama from the night. That Lance has something wrong with him, I wonder, I wonder if he loves Malon, and that's why he was protecting her... It seems right, even though I have never felt love before. Some day maybe I'll be lucky and meet a man to my standard, but until then my dreams will keep me company. I have to return to my room now, and get some sleep.
*Rose walks away. About 2 hours later Nabooru enters her room. It's about 6:00 AM so it's pretty early. Rose is about to meet her punishment...*
Nabooru: Hello Rose, you ready?
Rose: I'm truely sorry, but you can't keep people locked up like this forever! I was about to lose my mind!
Nabooru: ...... Your right.
Rose: I am?
Nabooru: Yes, but I just... I think of you as my daughter. I don't want you getting caught up with the nonsense of life outside the gate...
Rose: I never thought you liked me like that, I just thought you wanted to deprive me of my life...
Nabooru: Never would I want to do that! But you still disobeyed me, and you will still be punished.
Rose: I understand.
Nabooru: You must report to the kitchen for the boiling punishment...
Rose: ......Yes.... my queen....
*Rose exits her room and heads down the similar corridors until she reaches the hallway to the kitchen. She stops to talk before, um, her punishment.*
Did you overhear again? I never thought of her liking me like that... I just really thought she hated me so much she didn't want me to live a normal life. That's why she's keeping me here, in Gerudo Valley. Yes, I have asked her if I could leave, to live the life I'd dreamed of so many times. She just refused and said I had no idea what was "Normal life"... That just angered and confused me, so that was the first night I ran away. I still have scars from that night... The boiling punishment? It's where you get steaming hot water thrown on your face, legs, arms, or stomach. Once a girl had it thrown on all of them.... I still don't know what she did. Nabooru will be coming to give the order soon. I have to go, it may look painful, but I'll be alright.
*Rose walks in and stands before the boiling water in the couldren. Nabooru enters a minute later. Rose stands proudly before her queen, and excepts when she is told that it would go on her arms and legs. Nabooru lifts the scolding water in a spoon, and throws it onto Rose's arms. Rose winces and shrinks back in so much pain I can't even mention it. She has burns on her arms now, and is ready for her legs. She lifts the leg cuff and awaits the burning sensation she felt before. Nabooru agian throws the boiling liquid at Rose. Rose again winces, and lets out a little cry. After all that, Rose limps back to her room to heal. We go in to see her....*
Hi again. I am in so much pain, I should have never stayed out that late. Also, I shouldn't have let out a cry. It's dishonorable and shameful. I couldn't really help it, imagine sticking your hand in boiling water and see how you would react... I'm putting on aloe at the moment, it sooths my skin. Then I have to go to guard duty at the gate again, only with an escort. (Nabooru doesn't trust me.) I hope Link comes back, I would enjoy talking to him again. Of course, Nabooru would never allow it. I'm going on 2 hours of sleep, which isn't good but at least is something. I have to leave to the gate, come with me and I'll talk more.
*Rose leaves her room and exits the fortress. She runs across the hot sand to her station, and is greeted by another guard, who is there to guard her... Weird I know, but just the same...*
Guard: Welcome, you are a little late...
Rose: Punishment, I had to apply medicine.
Guard: I never wanted to guard you, but Nabooru forced me-
Rose: I don't care, I never wanted you to guard me either.
Guard: Yes, well... Still....
Rose: Why don't you go? I can't do anything in my condition anyway.
Guard: *Gives awkward look at Rose* You aren't to be trusted.
Rose: *Points at her bare arms* You can't even imagine the pain I'm in.
Guard: I guess I could head into Hyruld for awhile.
Rose: Do what you like, I know I can't.
Guard: Ok, but I'm taking the key. If someone comes, get another guard to unlock the gate.
Rose: Very well.
Guard: Don't tell Nabooru either, or I'll hurt you so-
Rose: I know I know, I'd be in trouble too.
Guard: Hush "Fake", just keep your mouth shut!
*With that the guard unlocked the gate and ran out, leaving it shut on Rose. Poor Rose stood there with the sand blowing on her wounds making them worse, and trapped to do nothing...*
Huh? Hi. She called me that -name- again... I hate that name. "Fake"... It was given to me when I was small and not like the other girls. They had natural tanned skin and almond shaped golden-brown eyes. I had white skin and round, dark brown eyes. I was teased about not belonging, and beat by the others for "intruding"... It's over now, but when someone is mad at me they still call me that, only now they run away. They know I'd yell if they stayed. *Sigh* I'm used to it. At least I get some alone time. No, I'm not even going to TRY to jump the fence again, not with burns all over my body! I'll keep to my word, enough punishment for one day. ------------- I hear something. It's that familiar galloping again. It must be Link! At least I get to talk to him, he's so nice. I'll be back, don't move, I AM guarding you know...
*Rose looks anxiously to the galloping horse. Instead she sees a carrage coming up, with two horses pulling it. She still has anxious eyes, but also with caution. Her face loses all that when she sees who it is...*
Lance: It's you!
Rose: What are you doing here?
Lance: Not a real Gerudo my-
Rose: I'm NOT! I told you.
Lance: Yeah, and you explain this how?
Rose: I'm guarding here. I do live here and work here, but I wasn't born here, I'm Hylian.
Lance: Weird.
Rose: Now my question.
Lance:I deliver milk here, why haven't you seen me? I come every Friday!
Rose: I've been shut out from the world for awhile...
Lance: Obviously...
Rose: Ohhh, you make me so angry!
Lance: Job done.
Rose: *Sigh* You need to get through?
Lance: No, I came all this way for the lovely stroll with milk...
Rose: Jeez, I'll be right back.
Lance: Wait, where are you going?
Rose: I need to get someone to open the gate.
Lance: Not allowed near keys?
Rose: You could say that...
Lance: Just hurry, I don't have all day ya know?
*Rose runs off to find a guard. She returns with one and opens the gate. The guard leaves and Lance jumps off the wagon. He is getting ready to unload his cargo, when he realizes Rose is staring at him.*
Lance: What?
Rose: Nothing, just keep going.
Lance: Sure, I'll just let you keep staring at me...
Rose: You and your sarcasm.
Lance: Well...
Rose: Do you need help?
Lance: Sure, the faster to leave.
Rose: *Walks up and takes a box.*
Lance: *Noticing Rose's burns* What happened?
Rose: I was punished, for leaving last night. You know, that "walk"???
Lance: Oh, that seems harsh...
Rose: It is. It's so bad and hurts a lot.
Lance: *Hands Rose a milk jug* Drink this.
Rose: Behold the power of milk...
Lance: Now your doing it, just drink it.
Rose:Very well, but if you poisened it...
Lance: Come on! I'm not that mean.
*Rose drinks the milk, and waits a second. Her wounds begin to disappear and she just stares. She is stunned from what it did, and can't speak.*
Lance: See? Now help me.
Rose: Um....
Lance: What?
Rose: Thank you.
Lance: Your welcome, can you help now?
Rose: Ok.
*The rest of the cargo is gone and Lance rides away into the lush green land of Hyrule. Rose continues to stand guard.*
That was odd. I just keep arguing with him, then he turns around and is nice to me. It took a lot to say "thank you" and he brushed it away as if it were nothing. He wanted to help me... Men and their mind games. Maybe it's only him. He's do weird. It's fascinating. I don't know why I'm so intrigued by him... There's ANOTHER horse coming up! I'm not even going to guess who this is...
*Rose again awaits the visitor. She is relieved to see Link on his horse, bravely riding towards her*
Link: Hello again.
Rose: Hi.
Link: It's odd, your here constantly now, but before you weren't even inside...
Rose: Yeah, Nabooru didn't want me near men.
Link: Really? That's silly, we aren't dangerous! Well, maybe some.
Rose: Hehe... I-I was w-wondering if you w-were going to c-come back...
Link: You stutter a lot. Is that a problem or-
Rose: Oh no! I, um, usually don't talk like this.
Link: Why now?
Rose: Don't know, it's kinda on and off.
Link: OK, yeah I'm coming back, Nabooru made me an official member.
Rose: Right, she told me.
Link: I just come for the challenges and...
Rose: And what?
Link: And the journey I'm on at the moment.
Rose: Sounds exciting, I wish I could live a life like yours.
Link: Hmmm, thank you.
Rose: Your welcome. It's true too.
Link: Maybe you could go riding sometime with me.
Rose: Maybe, if Nabooru would ever let me get a life.
Link: *Laughs* Please.
Rose: What?
Link: Nabooru loves you! Should would let you go!
Rose: She what?
Link: Loves you, you didn't know that?
Rose: No...
Link: Well, it's true.
Rose: *Gazes at his deep blue eyes*
Link: What?
Rose: Here we go again...
Link: WHAT?
Rose: Nothing, just don't mind my sudden stupidity.
Link: I don't think that was stupid, just weird.
Rose: *Smiles* Would you like to come through?
Link: Yeah, alright.
Rose: Let me go get a guard.
*Rose repeats the process that she just did with Lance and Link is inside*
Link: Thanks, I'll see you around OK?
Rose: Yeah, OK.
Link: Bye!
*Link rides off and Rose stands dumbfounded.*
Wow. Ur, um... hi! He's so much nicer than that Lance. My time almost is over, I get to go sleep! I need rest for my aching muscles and, well, I guess my arms don't hurt that much. Thanks to Mr.Sarcasm on his high horse... Tomarrow I have to go with a group to buy horses from Lon Lon Ranch. It's exciting because Nabooru is letting me go outside. Just I need to stay with the group and not talk to anyone. That's not fun. But the outside world is what I want, what I dream about. And if she's letting me, then I still have some trust, and can't mess that up. The guard is coming back, so I need to go. I'll see you tomarrow, you can come to Lon Lon Ranch with us. Until then I'll see you.
*Rose walk off with a stride. She meets up with Link and says her goodbyes. (She stutters again) And goes into her room. Five minutes and she's asleep, dreaming of her upcoming day...*
~~~~Open to a new Light~~~~
~Like it so far? Rose is just getting into all sorts of weird things... Have questions? Suggestions? And Konitsu, thank you for your comment, and I kept writing so there! Anyway, I love reviews. Here we go with that creepy question thing I do. AHEM! What is with Lance? (Was that already a question?) Will Rose finally meet her man? Will Nabooru find that Rose healed faster than she was supposed to? Will she care? Does Rose go riding with Link? Will she stutter again? All these and more are answered as this story trails on... Thank you for your support! Keep writing and dreaming! ~~Magic24
